We aren't oblivious to the risks of skydiving, c'mon now.. And I demo'd a Pilot 150, it was quite nice but I don't have TOO much to compare it to.. Stay high pull low

+1!! Stay high pull low

Yep, I guess it just comes down to it being case-specific for every individual. Stay high pull low

Wing loading is only one factor. Wing loading only is not the best way to determine if a canopy is the best for you. There are several other factors concerning a canopy that determine if it "doesn't pose too much of a threat". How about we put any 95 pound girl on a Velocity 111? Of course, but we all know this. Similarly we all know the point I'm trying to make when I used a Sabre as an example, not a velo. Stay high pull low

How is the fit with your sabre? Stay high pull low

Man, I must have clicked and read through every other pdf but that one, thanks! They do seem to describe it decently within that.. Stay high pull low

I've been in the market for a new canopy, and besides that I've always ran my fingers across PD's wing loading charts on each canopies page. Now does anyone have more detail they could shed on what you think PD is qualifying each category by? Between Student, novice, int, adv, expert; expert is quite clear but between novice, int, and adv seems to be cloudy. The reason I ask is because take the Sabre2 150 for example, then run across to int, you get 150. So that's 1:1. For many, a Sabre2 at 1:1 is very docile and doesn't pose too much of a threat. Run back left across novice and you get a maximum exit weight of 135, WL of .9. So like I said, can anyone go into detail on this? I know it won't be soley jump numbers, but that helps paint a better picture. I was on a Sabre2 150 before getting my A, granted I am a legitimate beanpole.. The problem I'm seeing overall with this is I don't know where to categorize myself. At first I would have said novice maybe intermediate, but I'm far surpassed what their MAX exit weights are, I just don't see myself as advanced. Blues Stay high pull low

Depending on the price, you could always snag it and throw it in the closet for a while.. Stay high pull low

The recent incident with the malfunctioning plane, spiraling downward. I just came across it the other day but god damn I can't find it anywhere! Stay high pull low

Yep, and I factored in what I think is true for the most part with aerodyne packing a little larger? Atleast I know so for the pilot I believe.. Stay high pull low

Does this seem logical? spectre < triathlon < sabre2 < pilot All 150.. Stay high pull low

I've always hated safety pins.. the thought of them coming undone and then you stepping on them barefoot, sitting on them, falling and landing on them, eeeeeahhhhuhhnoooooo Stay high pull low

Yeah.. The .exe just seems way to mellow for me. It's a combination of both simply the size as well as it's characteristics. I put a good 20 jumps on a Pilot 150 in a few days and it was way more responsive, and overall more fun. Like I said I haven't jumped the Sabre2 150 in a while so my memory is faint but I know that as well was a little snappier. Just looking for a non-drastic change Stay high pull low

I'll trade ya a quite docile 155 ;) Stay high pull low

Yeah I almost forgot about that. Another characteristic is the pack volume; the zp.exe is the thick-ass south african Stay high pull low

Thanks! I jumped one a few times but it's been a while and just can't really remember :( Damn winters.. Stay high pull low

Going from an old square 155 zp.exe to a Sabre2 150? I'm ~ 150-155 otd If needed to serve as a point of reference, I've also put numerous jumps on a Pilot 150. Stay high pull low

You can buy mine Stay high pull low

Hold on, so you weren't wearing a suit? So are you saying a zipper just on a hoody or something? What exactly were you wearing is the question I guess Stay high pull low

Thanks guys Stay high pull low

I'm in need of some help if available, would have to do with Putnam and his BIV logic.. If you're familiar at all with it and specifically Putnam's content externalist view, and wouldn't mind sharing a few PM's with me let me know! Stay high pull low

Looking to see if anyone has a contact, I haven't gotten a reply from them since I first emailed them maybe a month or so ago. Thanks Stay high pull low

When I was a student I jumped Mirage RTS's, and I can't remember if it happened on all the rigs I jumped (probably not) but the 150 I was jumping right around jump 20-25, one side wouldn't stay tight and I'd have to check it multiple times before and after the jump to readjust it. Pointless post since I don't have any other comparison ha Stay high pull low

Uh.... I hope you don't mean a crossfire... Stay high pull low
